NY Public Library's Rosenberg Curator of Exhibitions Barbara Cohen-Stratyner on Stage Design by Ming Cho Lee
www.broadwayworld.com: The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts welcomes visitors and researchers to discover our collections. And sometimes, we send exhibitions out so to be discovered - around the country or even further. One of most traveled exhibitions, which has been installed in Taiwan and China, is currently in New York. But it isn't here at Lincoln Center, it is on view downtown, in residence at the Museum of Chinese in America. Stage Design by Ming Cho Lee is the 5th iteration of the exhibition since it debuted at The Library for the Performing Arts in 1995. Since then, he has continued to design scenery for theater, dance and opera so that the current exhibit represents productions from over forty years. It fills both temporary galleries in the beautiful Maya Lin-designed facility.

I build scale models all the time for my school’s productions, and I love it. There’s something really interesting about building in miniature. Of course the scaling down part of it is trying, but once you have all the measurements, the building is so fun. I always love going to exhibits having to do with miniature collections. They’re always so fun to look at because there’s always something new that you didn’t see before and the whole thing just keeps your eye moving. There’s never a place to stop looking. I’ve seen miniatures of interior scenes, but seeing an intricate miniature of a set would be fascinating. We build scale models out of foam core at my school, so they’re not that detailed. We’d probably need various tools and materials to pull something like this off.
